In February the Group had a (morning) visit to Leamington Hastings Alms Houses and church. This included the talk about the church’s restoration which was originally planned for the March meeting. Many thanks to Joan S. for organising this.

This means that there will no longer be a Group meeting in March and the next meeting will be on April 29th, 7.30pm in the village hall. This will be the Group’s AGM (free entry and free glass of wine), followed by Group members giving a presentation on “recent finds in the museum”. Do come along to the AGM so you can share your thoughts and ideas about meeting topics for the next season

In January the Group were entertained (yet) again by Susan and her father Neville with their continued story of the history of the vicars of Marton. The (new) slides from this talk are at this link.

There is no meeting in the hall in February, instead there is a morning tour around Leamington Hastings (Alms Houses and Church). Provisionally meeting in Leamington Hastings at 10.45am. Please contact Joan Sherratt if you wish to attend and she will let you know about the definitive arrangements.

The next meeting in the hall is on 25th March.

At the October meeting David Fry (pictured) gave a talk about Princethorpe based around early 20th century photos. A summary of this talk is on the website at this link.

The next meeting will be on Monday 19^th November at 7.30pm in the village hall (note NOT last Monday of the month), at which there will be a talk by members about their National Service experiences. All are welcome, entrance fee £3, including a glass of wine.

The new season opens on Monday 29th October at 7.30pm in the village hall. At this meeting there will be a talk by group members about “Hidden Princethorpe” (streetscape changes during the 20th century). As usual, all are welcome, entrance fee £3, including a glass of wine.
